I need to visit LJ more often

I'm slowly recouping from a week of little sleep. One big group project was due this week and a project for Relationship Centered Comm. had to be handed in Thursday. Oh, the lack of preparation! Got an 80 in an exam I really needed to get at least an 86 on to have a chance at an A- for the class. So now I'm in a situation where I have to get 100 in order to get a 3.25 in the class for the school year. I'm entirely too tired to be upset over the huge pit I've managed to sink myself into.

Last day of OB was Friday, and that turned out to be a double shift because JCAHO is coming to investigate the hospital next week. I was in Neonatal/Postnatal for the entire 10 hours this week, but it was pretty interesting. Cute babies (I got to see a boy? with ambiguous genital organs ...poor kid), new moms all anxious, very intriguing. I don't think I want to work in OB, but it's such a great place to hang out. The instructor? Somewhat not fun. I'm going to try my darndest NOT to have her for my rotation next semester.

Finished Deathgate. Alfred love, oh yes, tons of it. Aww. I was going to go on about what I dislike about it but I'll refrain from spoilage. Into the Labyrinth is definitely my favorite book of the series, though. I should probably pick up Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell before the library starts charging me for it...but I have this stack of books that I've wanted to get through. Not to mention the new George R.R. Martin that came out last week.

I got eight hours of sleep last night but I still feel exhausted. Tired. Deep down in the soul region, even. Sweet Lawd, I cannot wait until December 24th.

I'm still trying to decide whether to buy FFC or not.
I finished the second SoS book, and the ending left me with a "no, don't finish now!" feeling.
Mind you, all of his books have done that so far.

I think I'm either going to wait until it comes out in paperback or try to track it down in my library. For the life of me I can't remember much of what goes on plotwise in the books besides a couple of killings and lots of wolves.

I'm guessing you're referring to Feast of Crows and Song of Ice and Fire when you say "FFC" and "SoS". I may be wrong.

you are correct.
I've got used to using those acronyms with the friend that got me reading them, and it's easier and quicker to type

Yay! Me so smart! Look out, Holmes.

I just finally picked up A Game of Thrones by Martin. Been looking for a used copy in good condition, but noticed he's re-released a special 3.99 version because of his latest, so I snatched that.

It's on my list. Right after I get around to finishing Battle Royale and To Rule in Amber. But it is on the list.

See if you can grab the other books as well. Once you finish Thrones you'll want to jump into the next book in the series.

I had resisted reading AGoT for a long time - a friend had recommend it a number of times [well, she tells me she did].
When I finally read it, because I had no net connection and need something to do, I'm glad I did.
I'm currently trying to decide whether to buy the hardback of FFC. I may have to do it, as GRRM has a horrible habit of ending his books at stages where you don't want the story to end.

Hope you enjoy the book
